Are the 1 hour+ delays common? I see them on the board at the station fairly often. But I don't know if I just happen to look each time theres a delay.
Not really. I won’t say I’ve never encountered delays but Boston to NYP service is pretty reliable in my experience. Probably as reliable as any other form of transportation in that congested corridor.
Agreed. In my experience so far, the frequency and severity of delays on Amtrak between NY and DC are on par with the frequency and severity of delays on I-95.
In my experience traveling from western ny to nyc or visa versa, there is always at least a 1 hour delay going through Albany. My record being 2 hours. The reason being they switch out trains with a train coming from a different location. It's super frustrating not knowing how long you're going to be stuck there.
